Alek Stark Presents: ELEKTRO DOMÉSTICOS 3 - OUT NOW!

More than 12 years ago, one of the most important compilations in Spain's electronic music history: Elektro Domésticos was published in Spain by the first Iberian hip-hop label SuperEgo/Tu Pierdes. Today, after one year of Elektro Domésticos 2, I’m proud to present on Electro Empire, the third, and the last part of the classic spanish electro record:

ELEKTRO DOMÉSTICOS 3

It’s been many months of hard work but it’s here... warm as hell...

Elektro Domésticos 3, EK3, was planned to be released 10 years after of EK2..., EK2 was released 12 years after of the first part, but last year when the second part was released people from every part of the world wrote to congratulate me for the quality of the tracks, the quality of the sound and the quality of the production. In that time the plan was release the third part in 2020 but I thought the spanish artists deserves some kind of tribute for their hard work and dedication during last years to preserve the spanish electro sound.

That is the reason to release the third part and that is the reason to invite some of the most respected international artists to Elektro Domésticos 3. It´s a pride of all of us that artists have so influenced our own music now support EK3. I want to publicly thank for their support to this album.

When talking about this record, it also has to be mentioned the luxury edition in vinyl, in triple vinyl, 18 tracks, developed by the most prestigious vinyl maker in the world, Record Industry, for which quality is the most important sales argument.

Some of you asked me for a classic black edition. Here is it!... special to be played under hard conditions. With more space between tracks, with rought touch, and heavy weigh cardboard sleeve. Stamping (not printed) with metal, it´s not a ink, it´s like a thin metal skin.

The covers are different for each of the three editions. Special cardboard materials have been used, such as 350g Violette with metallic dots and Orange Natural Translucens produced by the prestigious paper factory, Antalis, through which it is possible to see the solid orange vinyl on the inside. The folders have been produced in the best quality papers of the world, forget the mediocre plastic covers and folders which nowadays populate our favourite shops.

As last year, for those of you who have not taken part in Elektro Domésticos 3 may be interested to know that the album has been edited according to the highest standards. All artists have followed strict submission rules and the tracks have a final threshold enough as to have a master with unbeatable dynamics. I can say that, at a time when a lot of albums are wasted because of that silly desire to get the highest volume in the album, Elektro Domésticos 2 stands out from the crowd. It has been very difficult to master*43 tracks by completely different artists. However, despite the amazing challenge, the results are certainly worth it, and the sound, as you can tell, is mind blowing.

Thirteen years have passed from the first part and, during this time, the technical quality of the producers involved has improved in an exponential manner. The sound is more convincing, more concrete, I´ve been very meticulous with the mastering, especially in regards to the dynamics of the themes that keep the record’s final volume in the background. This is of absolute importance at a time in which the absurd search for maximum volume has turned into the blight which has ruined nine out ten records in the last 15 years.

In addition to this vinyl edition, there is a double carbon CD edition which includes all the more than 30 artists involved in Elektro Domésticos 3 in a cellular polycarbonate handmade locking-based bolts and nuts.*

And, of course, there is a digital edition which can be downloaded in mp3 format and in any other loss-less format. This is the only way to listen the complete compilation of 43 tracks.

Availible for download very soon.
